Cheese Souffle recipe

Wash and spin-dry butter lettuce. Dress salad at the last minute with a creamy Italian dressing.

Prepare a batch of rolled biscuits using all-purpose baking mix, but substitute half-and-half or light cream for the milk in the recipe, and add chopped fresh dill to the dry ingredients. Bake as directed on package. Fill with thin-sliced ham to serve.

Melon, pears, cherries -- any fruit in season served with butter cookies is a fitting end to this simple but elegant meal.
